crisp autumn days paper leaf garland

Leaves are such a fun thing to play with. There are so many pretty colors and shapes!

I made this paper leaf garland using my Silhouette. ( I love that I can cut my own designs - really cool! ) I chose some pretty patterned papers, added a couple of cute tags, and, with the help of some teeny tiny clothes pins, a garland was born!

The tags are from my lettering design. I drew the words in ink, scanned them in, and then worked some computer magic.

It's unbelievable that September is here. This past winter seemed to last forever, but spring and now summer have flown by. Time to squeeze in one more season before Old Man Winter returns. At least Fall is a great season for decorating!
